Here's What Nobody Tells You About Buying a Franchise

You've been thinking about this for months.

Maybe years.

You've watched other people quit their jobs, buy franchises, and build the life you want. The freedom. The income. The pride of saying "I own my own business."

But here's what keeps you stuck:

You're terrified of picking wrong.

Because it's not like buying a car you can trade in next year. This is your savings. Your family's security. Your one shot at building something that matters.

And everywhere you look, someone's trying to sell you THEIR franchise without caring if it's actually right for YOU.

• The slick broker who gets paid more to push certain brands.

• The franchisor who makes it sound perfect until you're locked in.

• The "success stories" that leave out the 80-hour weeks and the constant stress.

Nobody tells you the truth: Most franchise failures don't happen because the franchise is bad. They happen because the franchise was wrong for that specific owner...

  • The extrovert who bought a solo mobile business and felt isolated.

  • The introvert who bought a high-interaction retail concept and burned out.

  • The person with $150K who bought a franchise that really needed $300K to survive the first year.

  • The corporate executive who thought they wanted to "be their own boss" but actually needed structure and support.

You don't need more franchise options.

You need to know which franchise types match who you actually are—not who you think you should be.

That's what this assessment does.

In 3 Minutes, You'll Know More About Your Franchise Readiness

Than After Months of Research

This assessment measures three things that predict franchise success better than anything else:

1. Your True Financial Reality

Not just "how much money do you have"—but whether your capital, credit, and risk tolerance actually MATCH the investment level you're considering.

(We've seen too many people with $200K try to buy $500K franchises and lose everything.)

2. Your Operating Style Match

Are you wired to be hands-on every day? Semi-absentee? Multi-unit empire builder? Most people pick franchises that require the OPPOSITE of their natural operating style. Then they're miserable.

3. Your Hidden Deal-Breakers

The lifestyle factors you haven't thought about yet that will make or break your happiness. Work-life balance. Control vs. systems. People-intensive vs. behind-the-scenes. These matter more than the franchise brand.

What you'll get immediately:

  • Your Franchise Readiness Score (0-100 scale)

  • Three personalized franchise insights

  • Specific franchise categories matched to YOU

  • Your personalized next steps (no pressure, just truth)

  • Red flags to watch for in your situation

Investment required from you:

• 3-5 minutes.

• Up to 20 honest answers.

• That's it.

I'm not going to bore you with credentials.

Here's what matters:

We've matched 2,847 people with franchises over the last 9 years.

Not sold to them. Matched them.

Because here's our weird business model: We only make money if you SUCCEED with your franchise. If you fail, we failed. So we're obsessively focused on fit, not just closing deals.

The data behind this assessment:

  • We interviewed thousands of franchise owners about what they wish they'd known before buying.

  • We analyzed the common patterns in franchise failures (73% are fit problems, not concept problems).

  • We studied what separated the happy franchise owners making great money from the miserable ones who regretted their decision 18 months in.

Then we distilled everything into several questions that reveal more than most people learn after wasting 6 months talking to the wrong franchisors.

Our guarantee to you:

This assessment is free. No credit card. No sales call unless YOU want one.

And here's the part that might surprise you: If this assessment shows you're NOT ready for a franchise, we'll tell you that. And we'll tell you what you need to do to GET ready.

We'd rather have your trust than your investment in the wrong franchise.
